If the snails are small enough to fit in the Oscar's mouth, they're as good
as gone. Most cichlids over 2 inches long will eat snails if they're hungry,
and adult Oscars can eat food the size of a golf ball. They might ignore
baby snails for awhile though.

My niece was begging for them for
her tank (so they didn't die in my hands; although she has an oscar tank
and
I think they may eat the snails???) This is the way I control the
population in my tank.
